The only human being I could tell everything was my sister Françoise. She and I were so diametrically different; put together we would have been a fantastic woman.

I've worked with Andre Techine lately and with a young unknown director on a short film. I choose my roles carefully.

On Belle de Jour, the producer was very protective. It was very hard for me.

I have no physical courage, I've asked for a double.

I think anything that has to do with sexuality makes people very interested.

A woman has to be intelligent, have charm, a sense of humor, and be kind. It's the same qualities I require from a man.

People expect a lot more from someone they think looks interesting. It's a burden.
